Comment on Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection Part I To be Shot in Rome and Mexico

Now’s his time to shine I guess, since the world has collectively decided that antisemitism isn’t what we thought it was, and apparently Jews aren’t allowed to define it for ourselves without the help of evangelical death cultists.

I’m a Jew who values the lives of Palestinians as equally as I value the lives of Israelis, and I will never give a cent to anything Mel Gibson is a part of.

You may think none of that is related to an old Hollywood filmmaker making movies again, but according to a new poll, one in five young people don’t believe the holocaust happened. Let that sink in for a sec. Millions of people were systematically murdered less than 100 years ago, and one in five young people are like “nah, I didn’t see it, so it didn’t happen.” Anyone who tries to tell you that this bigot making movies doesn’t matter, it does. Movies and the people who make them have significant influence on the culture.
